I would just explain to my good friend and colleague that the one thing that we do not want to do here is impose even more reporting requirements or regulatory compliance on charter schools. That obviously goes against the whole idea of decentralizing and deregulating public schools. But the one concern we still have on this side is requiring charter schools to provide to the Department or their contractor or whoever is conducting the ongoing study. Obviously, I think we should mention to our colleagues that the Department did the first-year study in-house. That said, our concern is requiring charter schools to gather disaggregated data on family income. That is the concern.
